How to make a responsive google map from the code
I use in css
A solution without javascript:
HTML:
<div class="google-maps">
<iframe>........//Google Maps Code//..........</iframe>
</div>
CSS:
.google-maps {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 75%; // This is the aspect ratio
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.google-maps iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100% !important;
height: 100% !important;
}
If you have a custom map size, remove the "height: 100% !important"
i think the simplest way will be to add this css and it will work perfectly.
embed, object, iframe{max-width: 100%;}
Add this to your initialize function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
// Resize stuff...
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "resize", function() {
var center = map.getCenter();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(center);
});
}
</script>
Adding a 100% to the width and height attributes of its iframe has always worked for me. For example
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.co.in/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=+&q=surat&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Surat,+Gujarat&ll=21.195,72.819444&spn=0.36299,0.676346&t=m&z=11&output=embed"></iframe><br />

I can't take the credit for the code though, it comes from quick and easy way to make google maps iframe embed responsive.
Good luck!
CSS
#map_canvas{
width:50%;
height:300px !important;
}
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Maps JavaScript API v3 Example: Map Simple</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<style>
html, body, #map_canvas {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script>
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here a standard CSS solution + JS for the map's height resizing
CSS
#map_canvas {
width: 100%;
}
JS
// On Resize
$(window).resize(function(){
$('#map_canvas').height($( window ).height());
